6. What did I learn from all
the (mis)adventures?
IDEAS ARE OVERRATED
DOING LESS BUT BETTER IS THE KEY
UNLEARNING IS IMPORTANT THAN LEARNING

7. IDEAS ARE OVERRATED
All good ideas start off as bad ideas
IDEAS
SUCK
RELY ON INSIGHTS
NOT IDEAS

8. IDEAS is what you think
iNSIGHT
FTW
Observations are all around you!
INSIGHTS is what people tell you

12. Doing LESS but BETTER
HALF A MILE DEEP OR HALF A MILE WIDE?
The art of doing two things at the same time is not doing none at all

13. 'mereko sab karna hai! Mein
Roadies hai!
Please, dont. 1 venture at 1 time.
Keep the motive to fail fast. Now take all the decisions towards failing
really fast! Riskier the decision, better it is!

14. challenge
status quo
There is always a better way of
doing everything
UNLEARNING > LEARNING

Not being another fish in another
sea, but a new creature in a new
environment!
